   Hello Markus,   
      
   On Sunday January 27 2019 13:49, you wrote to Victor Sudakov:

   How about fe80::/10 (Link Local Address...)

   It started out as "Site Local Adresses". But since it was difficult to define   
   what a "site" was, it was rebranded to Unique Local Address...  And indeed   
   fc00::/8 is presently "undefined".

   For what it is worth, I registered fd51:550:40b9::/48 with SixXs...

   Here the addresses are labelled as "dynamic", but like the "dynamic IPv4"   
   addresses, they are semi static. IPv4 adresses only change when the WAN side   
   MAC address of the router changes. IPv6 is less predictable. It did not change   
   for a year until this morning when I did a soft reset on the cable   
   modem/router.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
